Dont bother its shite.
Buy a mask with replaceable filter and atleast go for a 1 cost paint that doesnt need a clear coat.

Location: birmingham		Cellulose paint wont last long and will never match that good to modern day paints as it hasent got the depth. All depends what you are painting. Almost all cars now are painted basecoat and clear. If it is touching in you are doing use basecoat and clear as you just blend the basecoat in then clear the complete panel so you will get a good match. If you are doing a complete car in a solid colour you can get a good depth out of single stage 2k

Location: birmingham		Just mix it 50/50. What sort of spraygun have you got ? You really need a coventional high pressure gun for cellulose. Get plenty of coats on and then you will have to cut and buff it. The cutting compound to use was G7 but not sure if you can getvit these days. It wud polish up quick even by hand. My advise wud be just to use even a cheap 2k be far quicker and 2 coats will shine and outlast several coats of cellulose

Location: birmingham		No need to flat between each coat. Get abt 6 or 7 coats down and then cut and buff. If u can still get farecla g7 use that to cut first. It will cut quick. If not sand any heavy orange peel with 1200 then work down to 2000 wet&dry. Use G3 then finish up with a glaze such as 3m finesse
